First-year student Coral Markan Davidson recently received a citation for lifesaving after rescuing a child at risk of drowning. The incident inspired her to help ensure others are safe around water. The University established two scholarships to honour the people from the UWaterloo community who died in the crash of a Ukraine International Airlines flight. Several updates to benefits for employees and retirees have gone into effect. And the Faculty of Sciences launches the Science Innovation Hub.
